Rebirth at the Ledge: Student or Me? Chapter 8
Nathan's POVWhen Sophie finally woke up, she spent three days in a complete daze. She couldn't tell if those memories were real or just a vivid hallucination.The moment she was discharged, she dismantled what was left of Damon's life. He was thrown into prison, and even after his release a few months later, no academic institution would ever accept him again.Shortly after, I filed for divorce.I asked for a clean split of our assets and had allowed her to keep full custody of Yelena.After two rounds of court hearings, the judge ruled in my favor.As I walked out of the courthouse, Sophie came sprinting after me. "Nathan, you remember, don't you?"I paused and looked back at her with genuine confusion. "Remember what?"Her eyes brimmed with tears, and she looked completely lost. "I know the truth now. Damon cornered you on that roof on purpose. He knew you liked to go up there to clear your head, and he wanted to kill you. Why didn't you just tell me? If you had told me—""

Nathan's POVOver the next week, Dad and I handled Mom's funeral arrangements.Sophie tried to bring Yelena to help multiple times, but I kicked them out every single time.Sophie's expression was grim, yet her eyes held a desperate plea. "Yelena is her granddaughter. You should at least let her attend the funeral."Yelena burst into tears right outside the door, screaming at me, "Why won't you let me see Grandma? You can't do that!"I didn't offer them a single word and just slammed the door in their faces. After lingering outside for an entire day, they finally slunk away in defeat.Strangely enough, Damon never called the cops on me for the stabbing. He was likely terrified of making a scene.But a scene was exactly what I wanted.The day after the funeral, I leaked the security footage of Damon and Sophie straight to the university board.It didn't take long for the school to take action against Damon and Sophie.…Third-Person POVDamon broke down. He had only a few

Third-Person POVAmelie stared wide-eyed at Sophie. Her face was bruised and swollen, making it obvious that she had already been beaten.Looking up at Sophie's terrifying expression, she began to shake uncontrollably. "What do you want from me? I gave Damon up to you! I won't cause him any more trouble, so what else do you want?"She collapsed onto the floor in a heap, scrambling backward like a coward."When did Nathan contact you?" Sophie asked.Amelie's brain short-circuited for three seconds before she blurted out, "A week ago!""How much did he pay you?""50,000 dollars.""What method did he use?"Amelie froze again before stammering, "A-A bank transfer."Sophie snatched the phone right out of her hand. "Which bank?"It was obvious Sophie intended to look through her transaction history. Amelie finally realized what was going on. She raised her chin out and yelled, "I forgot! You have no right to check my accounts! That's illegal!"Sophie let out a cold laugh. "Oh, so

Third-Person POVSophie's eyes snapped wide open as she roared into the phone, "His mother's dead? How the hell did you let that happen?"Worse yet, she hadn't actually dialed Bernard's number earlier in the office. How could Nathan's mother have passed away today of all days?Sophie's hands began to shake. She had no idea what Nathan would think of her.Bernard spoke up, his voice heavy with apology. "I'm so sorry, Professor Barrett. Professor Walsh's mother… It was simply her time. There was nothing we could do."Sophie hung up at once.A hot sweat broke out over her skin, followed by a sudden chill.Sensing her distress, Damon leaned in and asked softly, "Sophie, what's wrong?"Sophie shook her head and muttered a quick "nothing" before sprinting out of the office.Her heart hammered against her ribs as she dialed Nathan, but there was no response.After some thought, she texted Yelena. "Call your father.""No way," she replied."Call him now!"A few seconds later, a re

Nathan's POVThat afternoon at work, Damon suddenly barged into my office, covered in injuries. He dropped to his knees before my desk with a heavy thud. "Professor Walsh, please, just let me go."As soon as she said that, a woman barged through the open door.My mind spun as I recognized her. It was Amelie Wade, a woman from Damon's hometown who used to stalk him.But I had stepped in and freed him from her years ago. Why was she back now?Before I could demand an explanation, Sophie pushed her way into the office.Damon immediately clung to her as he wailed, "Sophie, Professor Walsh is trying to sell me to Amelie! Please save me! She's a monster!"A handprint was visible on Damon's cheek, and his hair and collar were disheveled from being pulled. He looked entirely like a victim.An icy wave of fury washed over Sophie at once. She glared back and forth between Amelie and me.Amelie was heavily built. "Don't worry, Professor Walsh. Since you paid me so much money, I'll make s
Rebirth at the Ledge: Student or Me? Chapter 3
Nathan's POVSophie and Yelena brought Damon back to our house.As if renting an apartment for him all these years wasn't enough, they were now boldly bringing him to invade my home.Noticing my indifferent gaze, Damon shrank his shoulders, putting on a terrified act.Yelena immediately piped up. "Don't be scared, Damon! Mom and I are here. No one can kick you out!"Sophie frowned at me. "Damon just went through a massive trauma. As a professor, you should know how to care for your students."Care for him all the way into our bed?I glanced at Yelena and swallowed the urge to say it out loud.Instead, I spoke calmly. "He's 22 and graduating soon. I'm cutting off his sponsorship."Between his tuition, tutoring fees, and the designer shoes and watches he had taken from me, I had spent well over 300,000 dollars on him. Wasting resources on an ingrate like this was a joke.Damon snapped his head up, wide-eyed with disbelief. Tears welled up in his eyes instantly. "Professor Walsh
